Portland City Council has unanimously passed a phase-out plan for gas-powered leaf blowers by 2028, aiming to reduce air and noise pollution and improve public health. The ban applies to both public and private property, with a partial ban in place from 2026, except during fall and winter months. Portland will introduce incentives to help small landscaping businesses transition to electric leaf blowers. Violators could face fines of up to $1,000 for repeat offenses.
